Good show but Steve is rather repetitive!, 6 May 2006
7/10
Author: KingAngantyr from Hreithgoteland

'Top of The Pops Two' (or TOTPT) is a music show featuring the music videos and performances of yesteryear (from the 60s all the way to the more recent 90s). The show was axed a while back but has remained very popular and may been coming back to TV shortly - to the cheer and roars of besotted fans - if rumours are to be believed.

The show features achieve footage from 'Top of The Pops' which was (and still is) a music show that focused on the current popular singles of the year. Steve Write created and 'narrates' the show. He occasionally comes up with some out-of-character funny quips in his narration but a lot of the time he just recycles the same lines (for instance his "...but first the ABBA performance that all ABBA impersonators are based on", gets a little old when used for almost all of their appearances) much to the annoyance of the shows fans. Like his radio show, he talks over most of the beginning and end of the songs features which leads you to wonder why he doesn't join an all-talk radio channel.

If you are disillusioned by the music of more recent times, if you want to reminisce about the past if you just like music this is the for you despite its faults.
